Dr. Guoen Wang: With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Guoen Wang is a licensed acupuncturist in Texas and a medical doctor from China. His specialties include pain management, infertility, diabetes, anxiety, insomnia, and I.B.S. Dr. Guoen Wang graduated from the Shashi School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the People’s Republic of China.
Before coming to Texas in 1995, Dr. Wang taught at the Hubei College of Chinese Medicine for over a year.
He applied for a visa at the invitation of Stuart Watts, who voiced interest in hiring him as an instructor at the Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin- AOMA. (Dr. Wang taught at AOMA for 7 years, as instructor and herbal dean from 1995-2001). Leaving China for the United States was not an easy decision for Dr. Wang and his wife. “But I was looking for more opportunities for personal growth,” he says.
Dr. Wang’s goal is to free his patients from symptoms and help them stay well. In his words: “Be symptom free and even medication free. “I like to see people happy and living without pain. When I help someone with a problem, I feel happy.”
Dr. Wang enjoys activities with his family, such as ping pong and basketball. In the evenings, Dr. Wang often studies English books to improve his communication skills or reads through Chinese medicine publications to update his medical skills. He often travels back to China for more advanced study of Chinese medicine.
Over the years, Dr. Wang has built a thriving acupuncture practice in Austin, Texas. As a master herbalist, he creates proprietary blends of herbal supplements, tonics, and teas. Many of his treatments combine acupuncture with herbal remedies. Although Dr. Wang has witnessed “miracles” from acupuncture, he refuses to promise impossible cures.
Rather, he points out simply that this Oriental medical technique, practiced in China for over 4,000 years, has a remarkable record of relieving pain, reducing symptoms, restoring and improving overall general health.
